Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Omron V-103-1C24 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the V-103-2C24. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: Both parts rated 10A AC and 600mA DC
• Voltage Rating: Both rated 250V AC and 125V DC
• Electrical Life: Both rated 300,000 cycles

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Actuator Type: Both feature lever, straight actuator
• Mounting Type: Both are chassis mount
• Termination Style: Both use Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm)
• Ingress Protection: Both rated IP40
• Operating Force: Both 35gf
• Pretravel: Both 0.354" (9.0mm)
• Differential Travel: Both 0.110" (2.8mm)
• Overtravel: Both 0.125" (3.2mm)
• Mechanical Life: Both rated 50,000,000 cycles

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: Both RoHS Compliant
• Series: Both part of V series

Distinguishing Factor: The primary difference is circuit configuration: V-103-2C24 is SPST-NC (Normally Closed), while V-103-1C24 is SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw). This difference affects application suitability based on circuit requirements. Additionally, V-103-1C24 has an Active product status with expanded inventory availability, whereas V-103-2C24 is Last Time Buy.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V-103-1C24 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the V-103-2C24. Selection between these parts is determined by circuit requirements and product lifecycle status:

V-103-2C24 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring SPST-NC (Normally Closed) circuit configuration
• Operating environments up to 105°C
• Last Time Buy status requires expedited procurement for legacy system support

V-103-1C24 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration
• Operating environments up to 80°C
• Active product status with established supply chain and inventory availability
• Recommended for new designs and ongoing production requiring long-term component availability

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical electrical ratings (10A AC at 250V, 600mA DC at 125V), mechanical durability (50,000,000 mechanical cycles), and actuator characteristics. The operating temperature range difference reflects the distinct circuit architectures. Component selection must align with specific circuit topology requirements and thermal operating conditions of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V-103-1C24 directly replace V-103-2C24 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement depends on circuit requirements. V-103-2C24 is SPST-NC (Normally Closed), while V-103-1C24 is SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw). These circuit types serve different switching functions. Replacement is only valid if the application circuit topology can accommodate SPDT functionality. Electrical ratings and mechanical characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status for V-103-2C24?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has discontinued this part number. Existing inventory is available for final purchases, but no future production is planned. For applications currently using V-103-2C24, transition planning to V-103-1C24 or alternative parts is necessary for long-term supply continuity.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions compatible between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical chassis mount configuration, quick-connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination, lever straight actuator, and equivalent mechanical travel specifications (pretravel, differential travel, overtravel). Operating position differs by 0.002" (0.002mm), which is negligible for mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference between these parts?

A: V-103-2C24 operates from -25°C to 105°C, while V-103-1C24 operates from -25°C to 80°C. Applications requiring operation above 80°C must use V-103-2C24. For applications within the -25°C to 80°C range, both parts are suitable.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both V-103-2C24 and V-103-1C24 are RoHS Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What are the electrical performance specifications for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 10A AC at 250V and 600mA DC at 125V. Electrical life is 300,000 cycles for both. These identical electrical ratings ensure equivalent performance in switching applications within specified voltage and current parameters.
